Counting Doors

Lock the latch and count to ten

Let the quiet slip right in

Sand is falling through your hand

Draw a circle in the sand

Something waits outside the door

Walking soft across the floor (shhh)

Close your eyes, I'll keep you safe

In this cold and hollow place

Is it guarding us tonight?

Or just waiting for the light?

(safe tonight)

Listen to the timbers groan

We are never quite alone

Watch the shadow on the wall

Promises to catch your fall

No

one

leaves.

Close your eyes, I'll keep you safe

In this cold and hollow place

Is it guarding us tonight?

Or just waiting for the light?

(safe tonight) (shhh)
